Am ng the first crops which can be
put out on the opening of spring are
early peas. Sown four inches deep, rs
they should be, pretty sharp freeze
after planting will do them no harm.
Preparing the ground in the fall will
facilitate the work, as before the ground
is dry enough to pow well in the
spring the peas may be sprouted or up
even. The soil should be well enriched,
and left in ridges, in which condition
it will dry qglicker.-Clereiand Leader.

Lydia North,s Impor.unate suitor.

CHICAGO. Dec "A curious complaint against
Harry L. Gilmer was made at the office OF the
Womens Protective Association to-day by Miss
Lydia North, hook keeper. Gilmer is the gray
haired, lank six-fcoter who achieved considera-
BILE nosoriety by giving startling direct testimony
against Spies and other defendants in the An-
archist trial. Miss North is young. petite and
has swapping black eyes. She claimed that
Gilmer has been pestering her with his atten-
tions until life has becorns a burden. He was
continually forcing himself into her presence
and endeavoring to create the impression that
he and she were intimate. or that she was under
obligations co him. Miss sNorth'represented that
she was without protection. having only recent
ly come here from Tillsonburg, Ont, and has
been i'll much OF the time since. Giimer has OF
late been quartered in the same boarding house
where she has made her home. The fact that
be cisnlays knife or derringer on the slightest
provoeation has made her cautious of offending.
Gilmer's latest performance, she said, was TO
force upon her a Gift of seal-plush cloak. and
before she had opportunity TO return il, sent an
officer 10 the house to replsvin the garment.
The boarding house mistress corroborates Miss
North. Gilrner, when seen this evening, denied
the truth OF the statements, and claimed that
the young lady was trying TO ''play him"

LONDON, Dec. At is reported that Mr.. Dill
lon will remain in England for some time It
is asserted that the government, in view of the
fact that the warrant which had been issued in
ireland for the arrest of Mr.. Dillon charges
him with q more serious crime than any named
in the coercion act, is anxious that his trial
should proceed at once, believing that his con-
viction and sentence to long term of i'm prison
ment would deter others from willfuily
violating the crimes act. 1t is
hiptsd that the accusation against Mr.
Dillon is that of treason felony. but the
is one that must be tried by an Irish jury, the
government hesitates TO disclose its plans or the
precise nature of Dions offense until the last
moment. Mr. Dillon, Of course. understands
that he will be arrested imm ediately upon his
return to Ireland, but he is represented to have
said that be will neither seek TO evade arrest
al.er his plans in the slightest because of the
writ against him. but will proceed to Ireland at
the time originally set for his returR.
